I just about raged out when I heard this news. Especially since all of the stops in lakeview that are literally a block away from eachother are being kept.

I didn't realize it was Jarvis, Thorndale and Lawrence being considered. Most of the coverage only mentions the plan which closes Jarvis - but there are multiple versions of the plans being considered.

I am out of the loop on this one! What stops are being closed and are they permanent closures?

Jarvis, Thorndale and Lawrence on the Red Line, and South Boulevard and Foster on the Purple Line.

I have added a link to a post with the contact information on where to send your inputs. There are also meetings, but the last one is today.
